Soft brown eyes fringed in lashes black as jet,
Dark girls are so mysterious,
I think They are fit subject for a triolet.
Soft brown eyes hinged in lashes black as jet.
Bright blondes, maybe, are fruit flowers pink and white;
But secret as a dim magnolia night.
Soft brown eyes hinged in lashes black as jet,
Dark girls are so mysterious I think.
